Hi Guys Anyone seen any good deal (New or S/H) for the above ....Thinking I would like to up the noise on the Bike. Regards John
Should be plenty of cheap noisy systems available when those with them have been caught, fined and failed an MOT https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/motorcycle-exhausts/
I’ll tempt fate. For the last 38 years, I’ve ridden bikes with loud pipes (not stupidly loud) small plates and where possible, the darkest of visors. In all that time, I’ve had one ticket, that on reflection, was for a piss take of a letterbox size number plate. Other than that, nothing. I’m sure MCN will continue to pad out their editorial with the usual cycle of nonsense. Same as it ever was.
To be honest I couldn’t give a toss either, it’s true that MCN just repeat the same old nanny state stories time and time again….. Noisy pipes, black visors, small plates!!, who gives a toss, you can completely legally ride with no visor and just a pair of your wife’s knickers if you want. Electric bikes ridden by feral kids, stealing others bikes, wheeling up the middle of the road, thieving from shops in gangs………… and don’t start on Cars with bang bang bang bang exhausts , mapped and obviously uninsured ( who believes these idiots ring and say I’d like to amend my policy to cover a heavily modified ecu ? ) Police stations closing down all over, police compounds full of marked cars not on the roads, whilst they fill out reports!! Just get out there and ride. Rant over.
I’ve mentioned this to the wife and didn’t get a most favourable response, not the best start to a Saturday morning. So purely in the interests of the forum and scientific research, if anyone sends me a pair of their wife’s* knickers, I’ll let you know how I get on. * girlfriends also acceptable.
has anyone managed reasonable exhaust mod, that improved the sound, didn't need ECU mod, not annoying on a long day out? Yes, looking for a unicorn
Leo Vince decat link pipe but then a) we have no annual MOT or equivalent for bikes here in ROI and the police don’t police things like that here, and, b) I turn my hearing aids off when I put my helmet on
Admittedly that’s what the man I bought the link pipe from said but as I say no noise police here and me turning my aids off is the same as someone else wearing ear plugs. TBH sub 5,000, so when poodling through towns it’s perfectly ok, it only gets really raucous when you go WOT.
Not too worried about police, but I don't want the bike to turn out annoying to myself. Also, I need to consider warranty void, it's new, and 4 years warranty. Might just wait it out.
It is not only that it works, but also that it has a lower register with which to be able to provide more acoustic material so that it sounds louder or less, and the type of sound continues to be just as beautiful, rough and with low frequencies without being annoying. , (or as each one wants to take it annoying). I have an akra on the tail, just the end can, and it sounds the same as the serial one, even if you remove the end of the exhaust it will sound exactly the same, the flask that it has underneath with the catalyst is what really makes it silent Don't spend 1000 euros on a final queue, it won't do you any good for the sound obtained, it's a tip, watch YouTube videos with music headphones, and you'll see what I mean. All the best
